How is voice demodulated in AM radio?

In summary, the conversation discusses the topic of voice structure in AM radio and the processes of amplitude modulation and demodulation. It is mentioned that a carrier frequency is necessary for demodulation and a high frequency is preferred for efficient transfer of the wave. The equation for the carrier is also provided. The conversation also references a tutorial for AM modulation and various demodulation techniques. Finally, it is noted that modulation is used for wireless communication and combining multiple channels of information.

Good Day,
Can some one tell me any reading about structure of voice?

Things I need to know (in AM radio) amplitude madulation of voice
and also demodulation of it.
When we demodulate it do we use some carrier frequency to so people can hear that?

Thanks

As far as i know we use some carrier frequency because u = λf (u speed λ wavelength and f frequency) so we need a high frequency (small wavelength) carrier to transfer the wave. Also, the equation of the carrier is E = Ec(1 + msinwtm)sinwtc, tmod = modulated , tc = carrier, w = 2πf and m = Emax/Ec.

I googled tutorial modulation AM, and got lots of hits. Here's a pretty good description of various AM demodulation techniques.

Modulation is used for the transfer of information for a number of reasons. A couple of the most important are to be able to use radio frequency transfer (modulate to RF frequencies so that you can communicate wirelessly with antennas), and to be able to combine many channels of information into the same communication channel (like how there are many radio channels available in the AM or FM bands all at the same time).
 

1. What is a voice carrier frequency?

A voice carrier frequency is a specific electromagnetic wave that is used to transmit human speech in a communication system. It is typically in the range of 300 Hz to 3 kHz.

2. How is a voice carrier frequency generated?

A voice carrier frequency is generated by an electronic device called a modulator, which takes an audio signal (such as human speech) and converts it into an electromagnetic wave that can travel through a communication channel.

3. Why is the voice carrier frequency range limited to 300 Hz to 3 kHz?

The human voice has a frequency range of approximately 85 Hz to 255 Hz for low-pitched voices and 165 Hz to 255 Hz for high-pitched voices. Therefore, a carrier frequency in the range of 300 Hz to 3 kHz is sufficient to capture and transmit the full range of human speech.

4. Can the voice carrier frequency be changed?

Yes, the voice carrier frequency can be changed by adjusting the modulator. However, it is important to maintain the frequency within the recommended range to ensure clear and accurate transmission of human speech.

5. How does noise affect the voice carrier frequency?

Noise can disrupt the voice carrier frequency, causing distortion or interference in the transmission of human speech. This is why it is important to use modulation techniques and communication channels that minimize noise and interference.
